    Hi Norma, thats good to hear. Thanks for keeping us updated!! I could do with some cash and would love to have the knack for spotting something thats worth a lot of money! But knowing me I would lose money!

    Hi Norma

    Thanks for the update.......& good luck with the auction

  • Hi Angel - I always just buy what I actually like; if THE painting had been fake at least it would have still looked good hanging on my wall!
    And for £20 (ish), well you couldn't even buy a decent frame for that!

  • I'm so pleased you've put us out of our misery by up dating us Norma! You certainly have an eye for a bargain, well done!

    Very best of luck with the auction!

  • Hi Norma, i had been lurking around the original thread for ages, and i'm so glad to hear the painting was as you thought!! Good luck with selling it, and pay no mind to all the people on here that weren't so nice to you, everyone deserves to have good things happen to them but it seems other get jealous when they hear about it! So best of luck and can't wait to find out more details when the 30 days are up and you've put it through auction!! xx

  • Hi Norma, I'm so glad the story had a happy ending! Please do come back and let us know how the auction goes. Good luck!

    Norma,

    I've been lurking in this thread too and silently hoping it all worked out for you. I was very distressed at the way the thread started to go and I completely agree with you having it pulled. Whether or not you ever choose to give us more information, I'm very happy for you, anyone who isn't is just jealous.

    I forgot all about this thread and have just had a look today to find out what the painting was. Am i right in saying that we are not going to find out what the painting was until into the new year after Norma has sold it in auction.
